I wonder how the ticket prices would be reckoned. Feltham and Heathrow

It goes to an airport, so there will have to be a premium fare outside
the normal local system,


Why? There isn't in Manchester.

The proposed service is not a special high speed, but normal suburban
train running into Heathrow.
The Picadilly line runs to Heathrow Zone 6 with no premium.
They could just put Staines and Ashford into Zone 6.
